I can't believe it. We just lost a legend. RIP MJ, he redefined music, he was the King of Pop. Even to this day, when his music on comes, people 14-26 get on the dance floor and go wild. It's really sad how his life turned out with all the accusations and lawsuits, I hope if he did touch those kids, he prayed for forgiveness to the Lord before he went. He even played a interesting role in Sega history with the Dreamcast, please view the Scream music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNl2Pm9-7VkSpace Channel 5 was visually inspired by it. And he ended up with a major role in the sequel too.

He also starred in his own video game way back at the beginning of the 1990's. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker was an arcade game and saw home version release on both the Master System and Genesis.
He died just hours after famous model/actress Farah Fawcett, one of the original Charlie's Angels. That's three major celebrities to die this month. Ed McMahon (McMann?) the celebrity guy who was the spokesperson for Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes also died earlier this month.
I have no idea what Michael Jackson did or did not do with his life. Did he really ask The Lord for forgiveness before he went? If so I'm happy to hear he won't be in Hell for eternity, but like you I hope he wasn't really guilty of molesting those kids, they're probably mentally scarred for life if he really was guilty of that.

Sega has released a official statement about MJ: We here at SEGA were very sad to hear about the passing of Michael Jackson. He was a true music legend whose songs touched each of us at some point in our lives. We are proud to have worked with him and included his music in some of our most well-remembered games and are sure that his genius will live on through his great body of work. We have no doubt that future generations will be moonwalking to all his greatest hits. PS: MJ owned one the largest collections of rare/vintage arcade machines perhaps of any single person! Check it out: www.juliensauctions.com/auctions/2009/michael-jackson/icatalog4.htmlkotaku.com/5154696/bid-for-michael-jacksons-arcade-games-%5Bupdate%5DAnd apparently he actually took whole arcade machines with him on tour! kotaku.com/5303612/mj-loved-mkBilly was such a good pitchman, so unexpected. I'll miss his ads, I loved how animated he was selling oxy clean :]
